proud to be just 1 short year of "legal" retirement age of 65... just where did all those years go? well my avatar gives a clue to some, since 2000 part of me rides scooters (normaly the saddle sore part on long ride outs) loved my fords over the years, from daily drivers, classic modded Anglias "1500" GT motors, and mini cabs. One G plate 1800 cvh auto sierra done nearly 300.000 miles... just kept running, bless it...lol will list all my fords one day, (new thread perhaps) but my heart and soul went into a landrover discovery diesel 3 years ago, I now know "her" intimately now after laying under it for 3 months last year with a cutting grinder and mig welder & new sheet metal. Just to keep my ford brain (whats left of it) ticking over, my daughters V plate 1330 KA in mettalic green, nice car "when" it runs right.......long story now..lol Oh, and I talk far too much, sorry...

I,m 52 this June, after that i start going backwards so the year after i will be 15 !! I refuse point blank to grow old gracefully and act my age. I dont know about you guys but whenever we,re out shopping I always head straight for the toy shops ! it drives my wife nuts as we share our house with around 1,500 model aircraft and around 500 model cars ! (including around 150 buses !) The cars and buses are all die cast stuff. I also forgot the 20 odd ships and about 30 space craft ! I really need a bigger house !

19 and still feel 10 haha! Weird twist here, when I was a wee laddie, I my dad had an old mk2 escort, and later on a Sierra and I ALWAYS told him "when I grow up I'm gonna buy a ford". Well, I've done it :') haha! Sadly neither my dad, nor the escort are with us anymore :/ the escort was written off by some &#33;Removed&#33; in a van. And my father passed away from a heart attack when I was 12. But I'm 19 and thankful my dad showed me the escort, and how &#33;Removed&#33; awesome fords are :) long live the blue oval!!

Phil, Totally hit the nail on the head with that hammer! 25 now and tbh.... i wish i had ignored everything people said about modding your car because of insurance etc and gone for a 1L etc. Now i think... i'm a bit too old for loud exhaust and some insane kits. Now i gotta go for a subtle look lol.

I had a Polo back then and i wanted to slam it! didn't happened, i listened to the old boring and wise. Saying that though i really enjoy my Focus Zetec S, No need to slam it.
